Apostle's Maraud
Imbrium

I gave Apostle's Maraud 4th out of 192. It is my favorite song in the contest I didn't give a 10/10 to; in a rating system that's fairly arbitrary...basically all that means is Apostle's Maraud is my favorite song in the contest that isn't already a long-time favorite. It's a more recent discovery that hasn't had the chance to sink in as a non-temporary obsession with certainty to me. I think I would vote for Apostles Maraud over Thermosphere & Tong Nou Theme if their matches actually happened, despite ranking it below them. Still does not beat Dungeon~Geofront 4 though!!!! No song in the world does! (yet) I'm really happy that I chose to nominate/introduce Apostle's Maraud to the community and see it be so well-received! Year of Yoshimi Kudo (!???!)...between this and the 13 sentinels reps hahaha

Imbrium : )

I don't hate the opponents here but these two songs made me so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today's pairings are interesting patterns for me. Match 1 is between multiple very melodic Epic Dramatic songs, which is a thing I can like, but Apostles Maraud does it in like basically my favorite way any song in the world has ever done that in for me. Match 2 is between 2 less "memorable" and less melodic, well-produced EDM-adjacent things, with lots of minimalist desynchronization/polymeter/etc elements (or at least that's the element i'm personally geared to focus on); but Imbrium is like a top tier example of how to do that to me in comparison (and also just has a much darker atmosphere that's more my vibe)
